If only they'd follow it

There are some Chinese users, but the majority are just communists from different countries, not neceessarily western ones. Lemmy was made by communists, so there are more of us here.

China gives us hope that multipolarity is coming and that our countries can also develop and lift millions out of poverty

It's just communism isn't vilified around us like it.was, still is, around you your whole life

and a surprisingly bitter pill for so many to swallow; it tells you instantly who has been chugging the propaganda kool-aid and they get smug about it when you try to point it out to them.

Unlike this picture, real life contains many shades of grey. There are some areas that could be improved but in other areas they excel about any other nation. It's not black and white.

Life doesn't have to be about identity and this picture screams "my identity is a tankie", which is cool but just means it's shit bias. Equally, saying a generic "China bad" screams that someone doesn't alot about its politics

No, it's one of the best countries in the world for the working classes at the present moment. It's regularly improving, and though it has its issues, it's doing well to work through them, which is more than can be said of the dying western empire.

No, it's not perfect, but it's as good as it gets

The ROC had its white terror moments.

No Escape by Nury Turkel

Part Anne Frank and Hannah Arendt, No Escape shares Turkel’s personal story while drawing back the curtain on the historically unprecedented and increasing threat from China.

"Part Holocaust trivialisation and Zionist cold war anti-communist No Escape shares the state departments line..."

Certainly a source.

Nury Turkel is an American attorney, author, public official, and foreign policy expert based in Washington, D.C. He is a former chair of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, and former president of the Uyghur American Association.

The UAA was founded in 1998. The UAA has had tax-exempt status since April 1998.[25] Uyghur activist Rushan Abbas played a significant role in the establishment of the UAA. She went on to become UAA Vice President and was the first Uyghur reporter to broadcast daily to the Uyghur region, for Radio Free Asia, in 1998

Very serious person.

Personally, I prefer Xinjiang: A Report and Resource Compilation. It's better than that memoir by a Statesian politician, and uses a combination of western reporting and hard empirical data.

What makes you think so?

China isn't committing a genocide. If it were we'd have SOME proof, as there's so much proof of Gaza even though Israel is a surveillance state that severely represses the Palestinian people.

Your views on China and Chinese people are shaped by the US propaganda machine, rather than evidence.

I know you mean well but most of us started believing the same bs you do, there's criticism of China within our spaces but it contends with reality rather than the propaganda you're repeating.

authoritarian state

Meaningless pejorative

committing genocid

The UN, OIC and everyone not directly funded by the US state department would disagree.

essentially free markets, but with strict government oversight

I think you should learn what free market means. Also simply not true, while private capital exists every strategic sector (the commanding heights) is publicly owned (land, energy, transport, finance).

China is "authoritarian" from the perspective of capitalists, but liberating for the working classes. China is not committing genocide. Chinese citizens can and do critique the government, what's often censored is reactionary views or capitalists trying to foment liberalization. The markets are not free, and that's a good thing, as it's key to the success of China's Socialist Market Economy.

“Genocide denial” isn’t a magic spell. Do you not deny the genocide of white South Africans?

Also, do you think we haven’t gone over the Wikipedia entry with a fine-toothed comb already?

Previously:

The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing Salafi terrorist into Xinjiang, and once its efforts failed, it made lemonade out of its lemon by concocting and promoting a genocide narrative.

The only countries pushing this narrative are the “always the same map” imperial core countries, which just so happen to be largely the same ones supporting Israel’s genocide.

Almost no predominantly-Muslim country buys the Uyghur genocide narrative, because they know it’s bullshit, because they talked to the Uyghurs themselves.

Genocide is more than just killing, it’s the deliberate destruction of a people including its culture and institutions.

(a) Show me the Uyghur bodies

(b) Show me the serious bodily or mental harm

(c) Show me the conditions calculated to bring about physical destruction in whole or in part

(d) Show me the measures intended to prevent births within the group

In accordance with China's affirmative action policies towards ethnic minorities, all non-Han ethnic groups were subject to different laws and were usually allowed to have two children in urban areas, and three or four in rural areas.

(e) Show me the forcible transfer of children from one group to another group

violent incidents in East Turkestan

I wonder where those Salafi terrorists came from? Oh right: the US, UK, and Israel organized, funded, and trained them, as they did Al Qaeda and the various flavors of ISIS/ISIL, including the “moderate rebels” that just took over Syria.
